Excellently signposted, free parking. Entry is expensive but we did enjoy. There's quite a bit of information to take in, even if the self guided walk through the mine only takes 10 minutes. Worth a visit if you like mines or pre-history. Not an all-day activity though.
fascinating piece of history, loads of information about the background and working of the mines. staff were all super lovely and welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable in their subjects! would absolutely recommend this if you are in llandudno, it’s even nicer on a warm day after walking up the orme, as it’s nice and cool inside the mines
Absolutely FANTASTIC.nSeriously, the most unassuming place which literally rewrote British history. Almost turned into a parking lot in 1987 - during prep works, a load of copper and bronze tools were found. And subsequently, a whole 9 floors of underground tunnels were discovered, revealing that there have indeed been a knowledge of metal working prior Romans on British territory.nnWe drove up, but the roads are steep and winding. Ample parking, though. Much better to take the Llandudno tramway up. And maybe walk down, the countryside is beautiful by itself.nnThe tour is a selfguided one, you are played a short but very informative film after the ticket purchase and then proceed to the actual mines. The tunnels are narrow and you might bump head here and there so really do wear the hardhat they offer at this entrance.nThe mines themselves may seem claustrophobic but in fact they are perfectly fine, I am claustrophobic myself and avoid mines and caves for this reason. But we actually went twice here, it was stunning. You don't go all the way down, so far floors 1 and 2, some 18m below surface, are made accessible.nnWent with two young kids 4 and 8, regular shoes, it may be a bit slippery at times, but nothing a 4yo wouldn't manage.nnDefinitely recommend.nnAlso, there is a giftshop with plenty amazing souvenirs, very reasonably priced. Cards accepted.nnFor us, an absolute gem of a find, we've spent a brilliant afternoon here. Kids loved it, I loved it, just not by car next time. Thanks again for an amazing visit.
Good place to visit while in Llandudno. The pathways are narrow but manageable. Tickets are around 11GBP per person. Recommended for adventurous souls.
A visit to Great Orme Mines is a great stop off if you’re visiting the Llandudno area.nnThe tour is self guided, so you can spend as long or as little as you like here.nnThe mine js very impressive and I am sure in years to come this place will expand with further excavations.nnAmple car parking space too, a real bonus.
